Normandy Climate & Weather

Normandy Climate and Weather

Located on the west coast of France, Normandy's climate is warm
with a fair amount of annual rainfall, resulting in a lush, green
countryside. Temperatures are seldom too extreme, but can be
unpredictable. The average daytime high during the summer months of
May to August is 80°F (27°C), while the weather during the
winter months from November to March is relatively mild. August is
the hottest month of the year and January is generally the coldest.
Despite rumours that it rains non-stop in Normandy, it is neither
that common nor rare, but visitors should pack an umbrella no
matter what time of year they choose to visit. The weather is
extremely changeable, with four seasons frequently making a showing
in one day. As the main attractions of the region are historical
and militaristic Normandy can be considered a year-round
destination for tourists. Summer is peak tourist season for all the
coastal regions of France but for those who want to avoid the
crowds May (spring) is a good time to visit Normandy, as is
September (autumn).
